ORANGE, Calif.—An Orange County man has become a local hero for “painting” his community red, white, and blue in preparation for Memorial Day.
Jorge Cortez, a resident of Orange, California, and Loyal Knight Officer of the Orange Elks Lodge—a fraternal order with nearly a million members since its establishment in 1868—has been supporting veteran service members by putting up U.S. flags in front of their homes when they don’t have the ability to do so.
